Accuracy of Extra-oral Bite-wing Radiography in Detecting Calculus and Crestal Bone Loss

Recruiting

• Conditions: Calculus, Dental; Bone Loss, Alveolar; Periodontitis

• Registration Number: NCT05887128

Brief Summary

To compare the diagnostic accuracy of extra-oral x-rays with intra-oral x-rays, in contrast to clinically observed measurements, for the detection of calculus and bone loss of either the suprabony or infrabony types in patients undergoing periodontal surgery.
